sfeed 2.2 was released.

sfeed is a tool to convert RSS or Atom feeds from XML to a TAB-separated file.

It can be found at:
  * git://git.codemadness.org/sfeed
  * gopher://codemadness.org/1/git/sfeed
  * https://codemadness.org/releases/sfeed/
  * gopher://codemadness.org/1/releases/sfeed/

sfeed has the following changes compared to 2.1:


Improvements: 

* sfeed.c: optimize tag lookup by reverting the binary search to a linear lookup.
  This is because the tags table is very small.


Documentation fixes:

* README, sfeedrc.5: improve If-Modified-Since example:
  * Use the exact server timestamp to compare modified content (curl -R option).
    Using the client timestamp is imprecise.
  * Do not use the modified timestamp of the ETag for If-Modified-Since this
    can differ as well.


Thanks for all feedback and patches,
